With support from parent company, Funeral Partners, we have launched the John Gray & Co Community Assistance Programme, to benefit the local communities in Bangor, Holywood and Newtownards.

We award small grants to small, local community initiatives. Our aim with the John Gray Community Assistance Programme is to connect and engage with projects in our local communities to help them develop.
